I read Sarah's Keys. parts of it were outstanding and parts were so cliched but I can't add details without spoiling the plot

I read Sarah's Key a couple years ago with my book club. I enjoyed it, and I think it generated some good discussion for our group. I can see how parts might be seen as cliche too.

I'm reading Debbie Macomber's "Three Brides, No Groom," right now.
I have her, "Angels at the Table," and "1225 Christmas Tree Lane", but I've not had time to read them yet.
I went through her "Cedar Creek Cookbook" autographed by her, and post-it marked recipes to try.

I ordered her, "One Perfect Word," a new book to be shipped 1-1-13, but since that's a P. O. holiday, I'm sure it'll ship on Jan. 2. It sounds very inspirational.

I just finished reading about a month ago, Lawrence Block's, "Telling Lies for Fun and Profit." It's for writers.

I have several Nook books I'm reading now, too.

Debbie Macomber's book, "One Perfect Word," arrived on Friday and it's a great book. :D

I'm reading, "Walden" on my Nook along with a book called, "Boundaries," and 1 about decisions and 1 about goals.

Finished Sarah's Key a while back. That is a book that will stay with me...not like half the books I read that I promptly forget about! Sounds like the movie has significant differences from the book, according to DD.

Have started "Falling to Pieces" by Vannetta Chapman...it's book one of the Shipshewana Amish Mystery Series. Have read book two already, which was at my library. One more to come.

Will start my 2013 Bible reading tomorrow.
